When you only want the most special of evenings on Christmas season, you can count on holiday china. What better complement could there be to your seasoned holiday cooking? Aside from the smiles and laughter of families and friends who’ll soon be gathering for those precious dinners, your holiday china will hold everything else on that table together.
Topping the league is Lenox Holiday which offers a 5-piece gold banded set of fine china that comes complete with a dinner plate, salad/dessert plate, bread & butter plate, teacup, and saucer and teapot that can hold 6 ounces. This is, of course, crafted of world-famous Lenox ivory fine china and with accents that can blow you away – ¼ inch 24 karat gold bands on the outer rims of all the plates! Not to mention the priceless cheers of lovely Christmas patterns adorning your table – boughs, bright red cherries, hollies, fine brown stems and tone-to-tone greens.
Indeed, the Lenox Holiday set is a tough one to beat. At $ 94.99, it includes, for each plate, a 6-3/8-inch bread and butter plate, a 6-1/8-inch saucer, and a 6-ounce teacup. And hear this, they’re all covered within Lenox’ lifetime replacement policy. There’s no question about Lenox Holiday being one of the most favorite holiday dinnerware. The warm and festive designs themselves have become a family tradition during the season for at least 34 years. Though delicate looking, this festive bunch is safe to use in the dishwasher.
If you’ve always been a Santa fan, you’ll adore Sakura Santa’s Portraits 16-Piece Dinnerware Set that serves four people in the family. While Santa is an old familiar figure of the season’s traditions, this china set has him in a somewhat bold and contemporary earthenware handpainting. Specifically, it’s all about Santa looking up and at a star-carpeted sky, his face painted against a subdued and mysterious background color. The pieces are bordered by a warm-looking red-checked design reminiscent of one of those cozy woolen blankets we often took refuge in as a child. The set includes four round dinner plates, round salad plates, round footed soup/cereal bown and a mug with a supersized handle for a price of $ 39.99.
Practical shoppers always opt for versatility with anything they buy and when it comes to holiday china, versatility spells Churchill China Seasons Greetings Multi 20-Piece Dinner Set, exceptional both for casual and formal dining. Aside from those beautifully scalloped edges, each piece has an intricate holiday design that is as warm as it is commanding. A tall and regal Christmas tree adorned with candles, tinsel and baubles and heartwarming toys such as a drum and teddy bears for the little ones create a merry scene on the pieces bordered by holly and berries. The set consists of four dinner/buffet plates, four salad plates, four cereal bowls and four cups and saucers. Everything’s okay with the microwave and the dishwasher so that means convenience is on your side with the Churchil China holiday set retailing at $ 64.99 each.
